Global Food Security Under Climate-Water-Energy Nexus
<p>During the last few decades, the global agricultural production has risen and technology enhancement is still contributing to yield growth. However, population growth, water and energy crisis, and extreme weather, climate change, etc. threaten the global food security. The focus of this study is …

Global food security: Drivers, measurement, and humanitarian response
… and humanitarian response dimensions of global food insecurity. The first study, based in Zambia, shows that increases in the price of milk during the critical weaning period are associated with higher risks of child stunting in urban areas. The second study evaluates aid allocation in …

Urban marine bivalve aquaculture: A pathway to enhancing global food security
… mortality rates. This, in conjunction with the global population, set to reach more than 9 billion by the year 2050, is challenging conventional means for ensuring global food security. Sustainable provision of diets high in protein, omega-3 and key micronutrients is crucial and marine bivalve …

Microencapsulated diets to improve the productivity of bivalve shellfish aquaculture for global food security
Food is the single strongest lever to optimise human health and environmental sustainability on earth. However, food production and consumption patterns today threaten both people and planet. We face a double-burden of malnutrition and overconsumption, with two billion people micronutrient …

How can the global food security challenges be addressed in a multilateral trading system?
Eradicating hunger and meeting food security expectations remain global goals. In the multilateral trading system (MTS) they can only be met through cooperation among countries in the form of international trade. Yet a number of trade-related incidents have eroded confidence in the capacity of the …

The reformed Committee on World Food Security and the global governance of food security
… explores the reformed UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS) as an institution addressing a changed world, and as an illustration of evolving global food security governance. The research sets out to answer the extent to which the CFS is realising its reform objectives and how it is …

Deciphering the contribution of root hairs in barley to the structure and function of the rhizosphere bacterial microbiota
… enhancing sustainable crop yield and global food security. Experimental evidence indicates that the host plant is the driver of, at least in part, the rhizosphere microbiota, but genetic relationships underpinning these interactions are not fully understood. Filling this knowledge gap …

Battery-Free Wireless Imaging of Underwater Environments
… marine robotics, geology, space exploration, and global food security. Despite advances in underwater imaging, most of the ocean and marine organisms remain unobserved and undiscovered. Existing methods for underwater imaging are unsuitable for scalable, long-term, in situ observations because …

Liver fluke development: a target for parasite control?
… to the genus Fasciola, is a prominent threat to global food security due to its widespread infection of agriculturally significant ruminants. Recent studies have identified a population of proliferative cells within Fasciola hepatica (Fasciola proliferative cellsFPCs) that resemble neoblast-stem …

Food Sovereignty: A Critical Case
For decades, the global food security strategy has operated on the assumption that poverty and hunger result from a state of underdevelopment, which can be alleviated through the distribution of technology to increase farm-level productivity. In more recent years, transnational corporate …

Sustainable Intensification of Agriculture: Opportunities and Challenges for Food Security and Agrarian Adaptation to Environmental Change in Bangladesh
… Bangladesh. The second article investigates the global food security and environmental impacts of already adopted High Yielding Variety (HYV) rice and double-cropped rice systems in Bangladesh using a spatial partial equilibrium trade model and a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The final article …

Use of Direct-Fed Microbes To Enhance Shrimp Resistance to a Vibrio Parahaemolyticus Strain Causing Early Mortality Syndrome
… disease threatens aquaculture production and global food security. A valuable and alternative approach to using antibiotics for pathogen control, is the practice of incorporating direct-fed microbes (DFM) or probiotics. In order to evaluate the hypothesis that probiotics (specific strains of …

Determination of farm animal exposure to multiple mycotoxins and assessment of novel mycotoxin binders
… fungi, represents a huge concern for global food security in terms of feeding the world's growing population with sufficient and safe food. Not only do they reduce crop yield and quality, but also produce vast number of mycotoxins, which pose serious adverse health effects in human and …

Genomic Evolution in the Oomycetes
… ubiquity and the threat that oomycetes pose to global food security, there is a lack of dedicated tools to analyse oomycete genomes. To this end, the Oomycete Gene Order Browser (OGOB) was developed. OGOB is a database and novel tool that facilitates comparative genomic and syntenic analyses of …

Interactive effects of climate change and management on grassland greenhouse gas emissions
… of agricultural ecosystems due to its role in global food security and soil C sequestration. The interaction between climate warming and grassland management is highly important and needs to be addressed as it may change the direction and strength of the effects on GHG emissions by changing …

Groundwater depletion embodied in transfers and exports of the United States
The United States plays a key role in global food security by producing and exporting agricultural products all over the world. Irrigation from groundwater resources is increasingly important in agricultural production in the US. Groundwater withdrawals for irrigation have nearly tripled since …

Irrigation with Treated Wastewater: Potential and Limitations
… coveted, water emerges as a key component to global food security. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is among the driest regions in the world: containing just one percent of the world's freshwater resources. An increasing population creates greater quantities of wastewater and demands …

Investigating the regulation of plant immunity by the N-degron pathway
… present a major obstacle for efforts to meet the food demands of a growing global population, and these impacts may be exacerbated by unprecedented rates of climate change. The Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) contributes to the regulation of plant immunity and a greater understanding of its role …
